Travel Letter Box - postal department's initative

Traveling Letter Box (TLB), an
initiative of department of post, promises to deliver the letter on the same
day for short distances.

The postal department’s new
initiative appears to have helped to revive the letter writing.

Traveling Letter Box (TLB), an
initiative of department of post, promises to deliver the letter on the same
day for short distances. All one has to do is to drop the letter in a box in
one of the five short-haul trains.

Charles Lobo, Chief Postmaster
General, Karnataka Circle on Tuesday said that the department started the TLB
concept on February 13 is available in Madras Mail, Rani Chennamma Express,
Netravathi express, Hubli to Vijaywada and Bengaluru to Coimbatore trains.

“This has become popular and every
day at least 200 letters are carried on every train. This service is limited
only to those trains which carried mails before too,” Lobo added.

On selection of these particular trains, Lobo said: ``Earlier these trains used to carry mail in sacks. The
mails were sorted at the stations before being dispatched to individuals. As
people know their destination, one can drop the letter in the TLB in the train
to ensure quick delivery.

POST CROSS:

To tap young generation in an era of
digitisation, the department is popularising Post Cross, an online pen pal
club.

"This is similar to the pen pals
concept. It started ten years ago. We are aggressively promoting it now. One can
register on the post crossing website, become pen friends with others across
globe and send picture postcards. There are 6.70 lakh members globally, of
which over 1,000 are from Bengaluru alone,” Lobo said.

NEW SPECIAL COVERS:

Earlier, Lobo released three special
postal covers on the occasion of World Heritage Day. The covers include
Keerthinarayana temple in Talakad, Halebeedu Hoysaleshwara Temple and
Chennakeshava temple in Belur. S Rajendra Kumar, Postmaster General, South
Karnataka Region and Arun Raj T, Superintending Archaeologist, Archaeological
Survey of India, Bengaluru Circle were present. Raj said that the postal
department and ASI were tying up to promote archaeology. Lobo said that during
Mysuru Anche, postmen also also worked for intelligence wing.

"As they travel long distances
and visit remote villages, postmen would bring information from everywhere. But
this stopped over the years. They can even today help in collecting information
and preserving heritage sites,’’ he said.
